Hilarious "The Foot Fist Way" Trailer

I personally never heard of Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) or his movie "The Foot Fist Way," and it seems that I'm missing out since most of the comedic talent in Hollywood is praising the man and his work. Apparently, McBride screened his film for a select group, after which the entire Jud Apatow crew became obsessed with it and Patton Oswalt said that it was on par with "The Big Lebowski." [via Chud] Click here to see McBride on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

In the movie, Fred Simmons - a tae kwon do instructor - goes on a downward spiral that ultimately causes him to escape his feelings by going on a pilgrimage with his buddy and two of his students to see his hero, Chuck "The Truck" Wallace.

"The Foot Fist Way" was shot in just 19 days on a credit card-financed micro-budget with a cast of mostly newcomers. The film became an overnight smash at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Paramount Vantage has already jumped to distribute.
